Biography
Edgar Vasilievich Abakumov was born in Lebedyan, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union in 1981, and he became involved with the Russian Mafia in Russia before moving to the United States and joining the Faustin crime family in New York City. Abakumov settled in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn, and he was hired as the chauffeur and personal bodyguard of Mikhail Faustin. Abakumov was trusted by his boss, and Abakumov and Valentyn N. Stelmakh decided to remain loyal to him even after Dimitri Rascalov began plotting against him in 2008. Abakumov was sent to drive Faustin from his home to the Perestroika Cabaret Club one day in the spring of 2008, with Stelmahkh accompanying them. The three of them arrived at the club during a rainstorm, and they sat down to enjoy the acts there. Niko Bellic proceeded to enter the club and confront Faustin, who was guarded by Abakumov and Stelmakh.
